Oh, man.  I was hoping that wouldn't be the case... Now I have to get all the Rocky movies and watch them again.

Just skip 5.  It is excluded from the continuity.  And it's an awful movie.

Also:  Peter Petrelli as Rocky's son!

I can't remember if I ever saw five... They're all, like, one movie.  Watching them all together is the sort of thing you do on a snowbound weekend in your parent's basement on the rat-gnawed old couch, you know?

Well...back before we were adults and now spend the snowbound weekend either throwing children into snowdrifts or sitting alone and exercising futility and regret.

Wait, "is" or "was"? Are you typing that in the theater?

Are we going to have another spurious and retarded English debate? HELL YES.

I have it here.  Will watch tonight as I condemn myself for abandoning my family or something.

What's great about it is that it's not even about the fight. It's about growing older and still having this desire for your life to have some sort of meaning to yourself.

You'll really enjoy it, Nacho.

Isn't it?

Maybe it's one of those things where our expectations were so low that we were pleasantly surprised. However, I simply think it's a good movie.

Yeah, it's not a low expectations movie.  It's pretty and well put together.  It's, strangely, honest.
